Am I allowed to talk now?

[ Even if she isn't, she presses on. ]

Did you hear a thing I said? Obviously not, honestly, Anakin you're unbelievable sometimes... I asked you if you heard anything weird, like a weird noise. [ And why he was so bad at multitasking / if they'd get married but there are more pressing things right now. ] Luckily we weren't attacked while you were ignoring me completely!

It's a little hard to do something when you can't see what you're doing while also carrying on a conversation, Tahiri. [ Please cut him some slack!!! ]

I didn't hear anything. But if there's anything that might attack us, that's even more reason to hurry, isn't it? We're already going to be late for the rendezvous.

[ He's using his let's be reasonable tone for all the good he thinks it'll do...a pause. ]

What kind of weird noise, specifically? [ But let's chat as we crawl, please. VENTWARD HO. ]

Even for the great Anakin Solo? [ No, never, no slack for you, boyfriend.

Grumbles, but begins crawling through the vent. She agrees that they should probably hurry. ]

Like a-- [ there's a click-clacking noise, like fingernails on plasteel, in the distance. ] Like that, did you hear it this time?

Blaster bolts! [ It's the most audible of the curses that quickly follow it, less family-friendly in nature and all cribbed from his father. ]

Tahiri, hurry! They've got a security droid in here. [ And they haven't got room to turn on their sabers. ]

[ Cursing, Tahiri does start moving her butt in a more hurried fashion. ] See, this is why you need to learn how to multitask!

How close is it to us, can we outcrawl it? [ Damn vents, maybe stairs or a garbage chute would have been an improvement. ]

How would our situation be improved if we'd left the vent open? Then we'd have guards and a droid! [ Kids, this is no time to argue...

At least he'd had her go in first. That puts him solidly between her and the droid, and as he scrabbles onward, Anakin casts out his senses behind them. The guards behind the door, probably close to breaking it down, and...there. ] It'll catch up if we just go straight. We need to get out of the way...as long as we go out onto another floor, we'll give these particular guards the slip, and just have to avoid, you know. All the other people who want to kill us.

[ THEY'RE GONNA GET SUCH HIGH MARKS ON STEALTH yeah no they're going to get scolded. ]

You could have closed it and paid attention to what I was saying! That's why it's called multitasking. [ Do you think that will stop them... ]

All right, we can do that. [ Maybe. ] How about this next vent, is that good?

[ WHAT ELSE IS NEW... anakin and tahiri fuck up a stealth mission, must be a tuesday ]

Yeah, just - wait, we can't force it. The droid will notice that...

[ He's just going to lean around her to squint at the vent. It's difficult doing it without loosening the screws with the multitool, but...

Yes, he's forcing another vent open. In a different way. ]

Let's avoid it noticing that, then.

[ Trying to lean and move out of the mechanical genius' way. She would have probably just kicked it open. ]

If we can't force it, can we Force it?

Yes. Listen for the droid for me, will you? This shouldn't take more than a second or two...

[ He's going to practice this whole opening things with the Force later. It's not that he couldn't shove it out and have done with it, but that would be an obvious sign they'd been this way. If he just gets the bolts out - and there we go, then just push the vent aside on a hinge and drop down to the floor below...

Anakin grabs the bolts out of the air where he held them in his mind, waiting for Tahiri to come down before he handles putting the vent back together again, as quickly as he can. ]

All right, but again I recommend multitasking... not that you're listening anyway...

[ But she does listen, then once he drops down she'll follow him. She stays on alert, in case anyone accidentally happens on the two escaping Jedi and decides to attack. ] Hurry up... [ Encouraging. ]

[ He trusted you to do the listening part, Tahiri! And indeed, it only takes a few seconds more to re-secure the vent, after which Anakin glances around. He'd already checked before dropping down that there weren't any life forms in the immediate area... ]

All right, we may need to scrap the shuttle bay idea and just get out of the compound. Chances are it's on higher security than expected...I might be able to disable it at the right access port, but the less time we spend here, the less chance we'll be caught. We already have the information we came for, anyway.

[ So that means... ]

...We could just ditch out a window?

[ Aren't you supposed to do all the work, Anakin? ]

Ditching out a window. I like it. Simple, yet effective. Let's do it. Got a specific window in mind, or should we go find one? [ Starts moving down the hall. ]
